No arguement that the spiral wrap looks funny, but similar to the acquired taste we all have for beer (remember the first sip of beer - for me YUCK!) you get used to how it looks to the point that it is normal. I picked up an old rod I had with straight guides, and it looked wrong to me. How that for a messed up perspective? lol.
As far as casting with them, that's another topic - I cannot comment on because I don't surf fish though (although I will add a whole lot more than my 2 cents regardless)
